Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of (2,3-dimethylphenyl)(1-trityl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methanol, (Intermediate 2) (2.3 g, 5.18 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (40 mL) was treated with manganese(IV) oxide, activated (commercially available from Aldrich): MnO2 (4.5 g, 52 mmol) at rt. The mixture was heated to 60° C. for 2 h. The mixture was then cooled to rt and filtered through celite and the solvent was removed under vacuum. The residue was purified by MPLC with 3 to 5% MeOH:CH2Cl2 to give (2,3-dimethylphenyl)(1-trityl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methanone, (Intermediate 3) (2.2 g, 96%).
